It's a mediocre to poor site to piece together your PC build, it's not all peaches and cream as most folks make it out to be. Most of my builds are not my own, I build rigs for other people by word of mouth but I don't save or display them on the site because I don't want to steal there glory so to speak. Should they wish to display there brand new shiny rig on PCPartPicker they won't get harassed for using a build from someone else. So far four of my builds that I built for someone else have managed to find there way onto there site and displayed by them. I do display my own builds though.

One thing to note is that their parts picker is wrong on quite a few occasions, I've pieced together a build only to get the parts in and find that they actually don't work together. I have to actually double check with the manufacturer's website whether two, three or even four parts will fit together and it's very tedious work but it has to be done because on quite a few occasions I've had to pay for return shipping on parts that their website said were compatible with each other. So don't hold their parts picker as gospel.

Also their pricing system is not that good, almost on every part I've found a cheaper deal by using Google Shopping, sometimes by quite a bit too. If you want to pay $25- $175 more use strictly their website and nothing else, if you want the best deals go to Google Shopping, it will spider the web and find you the best deals period.

For a long time I stayed silent and only used their parts picker but lately I've been kind of active on their forums. This was a big mistake because it seems as though the owner, Philip pulls favoritism over facts and doesn't believe in the First Amendment. What I mean is he evidently has certain people that are his favorites and whether their wrong or right if you cross them or disagree with them in any way you are in the wrong and you will be warned not to do so in the future. Even if you report that person as trolling your reprimanded for reporting them in the first place asking you not to report that person as they did nothing wrong most likely his favorites obviously.

Also Philip's so called "Favorites", give out bad information collected from websites that have been proven to give falsified and bogus reviews and they regard it as gospel so anything you ask on there these guys will give you bad info that can cost you in the end. You can't argue the truth with them either because they hide behind Philip's wall of "I can say no wrong" type of people.

All I try to do is offer my help, my knowledge to others asking for help and I was told to be silent and not to participate here, those were Philip's words (there goes my First Amendment right out the window).

This place is NOT a good place in my opinion, my advice to anyone seeking advice about their website, find another place to express yourself about your build like Redditt or another forum. If you do venture into their forums do NOT engage with anyone there as eventually you will overstay your welcome and be set in your rightful place as a NON favorite or someone who is not welcome there.

MY ADVICE... STAY AWAY AT ALL COST!

I'm getting a gaming laptop and I have 5 weekly down payments before they'll consider shipping it but when I asked if I could put extra down on the down payment so I could possibly get it sooner I was told I couldn't and that I have to put down only the amount that was agreed upon and no extra even though their site specifically states that I can put extra down.

What kind of company is this? You would think that they would want there money but they make it drawn out and you can't even get your merchandise until you put a large sum of money down first. I have to wait over a month of down payments and then probably another 10 days from that for it to ship, more like almost 2 months if you ask me.

Seems a little strange to me...
